A weapon from a more civilized time. It is essentially a beam of light focused through a crystal so pure that it gives the beam mass and It is able to cut through solid objects. If 2 lightsabers connect in a duel they will repel each other because all crystals are of the same composition even if they come from different regions of the universe. It is contained in the hilt created by the user or padawan as they are called and they are usually patterned after the padawan's master's hilt to show respect.

A Jedi Knights weapon of choice the Light Saber is less clumbsy than a blaster, and is more of a symbol of honor, and wisdom than a weapon. A Light Saber\'s color depends upon the type of crystal put into the hilt during its building, and the crystal really depends on the Jedi\'s personality, and their particular alliance. Jedi\'s (the good guys) usually have stoic colors or softer colors which give off a prescence of being good such as blue, green, yellow, purple, etc. The Sith (the bad guys) more or less stick with one dominant color that gives off a presence of evil, red, dark red, crimson, take your pick. In closing Light Sabers kick ass, and I wish the government would go public with their mass production of the powerful sabers....Oh come on, we all know that its true...

When Light Sabers are finally made in real life we will Ironically downgrade our fighting style to sword fighting while our weapons greatly upgrade technilogically....I hope.

The lightsaber is the super-powered high frequency laser beam weapon of the Star Wars universe. It first appeared it Star Wars: A New Hope when Obi-Wan gave Luke Anakin's old lightsaber. It is possibly the most famous weapon in movies of the past century. Frequently children are spotted with rulers or sticks playing a lightsaber duel. Don't we all wish that we could instantaneously hack someone's limbs off, cut through any material, or threaten somebody's life? The amazing futuristic tool of the lightsaber has changed everybody's life, dreams, or imagination in some way.

Yoda had a furious lightsaber duel full of flips and twists with Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

The high tech weapon of choice for both Jedi and Sith. It is focused through a crystal which in some writings is said to have given the lightsaber its color instead of the force of the person. It defelcts shit, it chops shit, and is quite possibly only second to the miracle blades that cut tomatoes really good.

The one thing keeping my nerdiness love of swords being better of guns alive.

A lightsaber is an amazing and versatile eweapon that is used by a Jedi.In comparison to these, blasters are pathetic.To carry a lightsaber is an example of incredible skill. The blade of a lightsabre can cut through almost anything, except the blade of another one.
They are the best weapons in the universe basically.
